A tale of two runs. I had ambitious goals of doing a 2x5k within a 50 minute tempo but the work treadmill died on me when I was about 2.25 in. Warm up mile of 7:08 then 1.25 at 5:27. I then went outside and my legs were not having it so I did a slow meander through Research Park and around Red Butte in 32:50 with 400+ ft of climing. Total of about 47 minutes.
I was also sluggish last Monday after the six straight days and two longer weekend runs so that's noteworthy. Perhaps I need to run slower on Sunday. I did 55.46 miles in my six on days which is a high for me (last week was 45.97 in the six days of running). Considering upping to 7 days on/one off but I may hold off until January when marathon training begins. Knee feels good. |
